Ten years ago today, I sold my first short story. The past decade has been a great adventure, a mix of highs and lows. I’ve learned and changed along the way, going from a novice with little experience of the publishing world to a seasoned writer and editor. To honor that journey, I decided to do a retrospective.

I had two works of fiction published in 2023, both of which are eligible for various awards, including the Nebula and Hugo. MERU, a novel, and “Noise Cancellation,” a short story.

Presenting the cover for my next novel, LOKA, the follow up to MERU! It is a happy accident that my (faded) hair colors happen to complement the cover art so well. 😂
